(announcer) love. it's what makes a subaru a subaru. kpix 5 reporter linda yee with deo of a burgla >>> this next story is one of those that makes you wonder what was this guy thinking? kpix 5 recorder linda yee with some surveillance rid video of a burglar you have to see. >> reporter: you know file this under one of the dumbest burglars you'll ever see. friday morning 4:25 he hits this neighborhood and what he did was he stole a surveillance camera. a camera that was not only on and working, but captured his image. the chief caught on camera, the very one he wants to tale. that is perplexing to the homeowner he hit. she wants to remain anonymous. >> why he would steal the camera makes no sense. >> reporter: his first attempt to grab it, unsuccessful. he steps back. it appears he's trying to cover his face. he shines his flashlight at the night vision camera. that works for a few seconds but then it just rearms itself. >> it's very creepy to have someone crawl on your porch. think tries it again. he stuffs the flashlight in his mouth.
